Tales Of The Mighty Dragonair

Arthur stood in the air while watching the changes inside that base. In his eyes, the world looked totally different than what others could see.

The moment the hundred originals headed to the shield to crack it open, a surge of the green energy erupted and took over the dark energy supporting the shield.

It was like the attack triggered the green energy and like fire it expanded and ate all the dark energy standing in its way. The shield turned from being black to dark green, while its surface showed more changes there.

Spikes started to grow outside the shield in an unorganized manner. It seemed like the shield was burning and it emitted long wisps of green fire outwards.

And this fire started to engulf the originals attacking the shield.

Arthur never saw his originals failing in cracking open any shield before except this one. Even before the green fire started its attack against them, the originals failed to cause any significant damage to the shield.

It was like they held sticks of wood and kept hitting a sturdy rock. The shield didn't even budge or show the faintest cracks ever.

And when the fire started to emit outside the shield, another shocking scene erupted.

"Ahhh!"

"Roar!"

The originals twisted in deep pain and roared in agony. Arthur's eyes went wide while watching his hundred originals getting barbecued by the green fire until they lost all signs of life in their bodies and fell from such high altitude.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

Their bodies fell heavily on the ground. They lied there, all silent as good as dead.

They were killed, and in such a swift manner that didn't make any sense.

"What the hell is that green fire?" he couldn't help but gasp when he realized what just happened. It was his first time witnessing such a thing. And when he controlled himself better, he started to have more puzzles to solve.

"If they had such a weapon, why didn't they use it in the islands? At the base island? Why did that dark angel mage never show it before?"

Arthur was at a loss of words and thoughts at this moment. He believed his war in this world was over, but now he realized it wasn't.

This base proved that there was a weapon in the hands of his enemy, a weapon capable of rendering all his originals useless.

And his originals were the cornerstone of his current force, alongside his grand dragons.

'I didn't see any green fire,' Gege, however, didn't understand what he meant. Her words made him realize whatever this green fire was, it had the similar feature of the purple fire; both couldn't be seen by normal eyes.

'Ding! I felt a sudden surge of brutal energy, is that the green fire you mentioned?' the system was puzzled as well.

'What do we do now?' The golden dragon got over his puzzlement and started to ask the most important question here.

"Let's keep testing this thing," Arthur pointed at the direction of the central pillar, "bring one grand dragon and let him try attacking this shield. Also take in all the dead bodies of the originals. I'll examine them later myself."

He wouldn't trust anyone to examine the originals. After all no one could see the two energies, the green and purple, except for him.

Plus he trusted himself better than anyone to crack this mystery.

'Are you sure?' the golden dragon seemed a bit hesitant, 'you can only summon one grand dragon per day.'

"Losing one isn't a big issue," Arthur slowly said, "and who said I will only use the dragon? If he fails, then we'll send troops there to keep testing the shield."

'...'

'...'

'...'

The three beings in his mind all fell in silence while thinking Arthur was crazy. They didn't see what he saw, but they all felt the dangerous aura coming from the world beneath the shield.

They didn't think such energy could be contained or confronted with any force they had. But Arthur had a different mindset than the three of them.

His old researcher self resurfaced again. He knew he couldn't base any assumptions on just a single failing attempt. He needed more trials, more failures so he could get more of the picture here.

Reluctantly Gege opened a portal and a grand dragon came forth from it. The moment he appeared, he roared in challenge before releasing a ball of fire towards the shield.

Yet another shocking scene appeared there. The green energy surging inside the shield seemed to get restless. Under Arthur's keen observation, the fireball slammed into the shield while a big fight erupted between it and the green fire inside.

"It's eating it away! No way!" Arthur was shocked when he saw this scene. The fire ball seemed like a nemesis enemy for the green fire, eating it away just like what the green fire did to the dark energy before.

"Boom!"

But a single fireball wasn't enough. Arthur watched it getting consumed rapidly before exploding, eating more of the green energy with it.

"Rumble!"

Just as this happened, the intensity of the green fire in the shield thinned at a rate visible to naked eye. But when that happened, the central pillar suddenly shook and it emitted a sudden gush of great green fire with a loud rumble.

But that didn't come without a price.

"The energy around it… it's getting fainter," Arthur narrowed his eyes while noticing the slight changes in the intensity of the green fire around the spear-like tip of that pillar.

"Bring more grand dragons here," he instantly gave the order, "and make them all use their breaths in the attack."

'On it,' this time Gege wasn't acting in reluctance or showing any signs of objection. She wasn't the only one who had her attitude change after watching the last attack.

The three beings perceived the changes in the energy inside the shield. They all saw the small cracks that appeared from this mere and weak looking attack.

"Also make any long ranged mages to gather up," Arthur didn't depend only on his dragons here, "let's rain hell over this damn shield."
